jake Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 On Monday I had to drop one of our drivers off at Chicago Mack to pick his truck up. It is a 2012 with M-drive and it shutdown on him 4 times on Friday for no apparent reason. Seems to be working now, but since I was there I figured I wouldget a few pictures. There was not an R-model in sight. The next two oldest trucks were what looks to be a former Roy StromDM and the Meade Electric CL700. The Green Granite seemed pretty new to be back up for sale, I was wondering if theguy didn't like it or maybe it got repo'd.Brian, Many years ago we had to get our truck in the Mack garage down by Sox stadium in Chicago. Is this the same one or is that one still there?
